I was back on Changi Beach with a few friends today. Was rather worried that we may not see much stuff due to the rainy weather, but fortunately, there were still plenty to see! Here's a quick listing of some of the highlights:

A Sea Moth (Pegasus volitans) was found in a little tidal pool.

Several Transparent Sea Cucumbers (Paracaudina australis) were seen, and this one was in the process of burrowing into the sand.

There were many little Black Sea Urchins (Temnopleurus sp.), though instead of clustering around the same area like what I saw last time, they were rather spread out.

I only saw one Salmacis Sea Urchin (Salmacis sp.).

The Swimming Anemones (Boloceroides mcmurrichii) were definitely in season, as they were every where!

Again, I saw a pair of Tiger Moon Snails (Natica tigrina). Not sure if they were mating or trying to eat each other.
